Product Description:

One day I finally got sick of spending eight years maintaining samples of all my 300+ fonts by hand. So I banged out FontDoc, a very simple program which shows you all of the fonts on your system using any text and any size you choose. Finally, no more squinting at microscopic WYSIWYG font menus or having to click on a font to see what it looks like.

FontDoc simply spits out a Rich Text document containing samples of all your fonts. Save it or print it for future reference. I'm hoping for big time-savings when I have to pick the perfect typeface for the titles in my next iMovie.

I'm also really hoping FontDoc will be rendered obsolete by something in a future version of Font Book. But until then, it's yours, dear denizens of Macdom.

What's new in this version:

Fixes bug where printing in Leopard would only produce one page of output
Fixes bug where no fonts would appear in Jaguar
Corrupt fonts may cause crashes. Please don't use them.

Uninstalled font recognition! - Version: 1.2.1, 5/14/2008 01:06PM PST

FontDoc has become a brilliant tool. Not only does it now look in uninstalled font folders but it digs into multiple subfolders. I ran it today on a folder containing 21 subfolders with each of those having 2-3 folders of fonts. FontDoc pulled ALL of them up.

There is a Size drop-down menu for viewing the fonts but the view size is also editable within the view box. I could enter 31.125 pt. for example. Being able to view at 150 pt. is a blessing for Dingbats.

It's fast, simple and free!

Some Feature Requests:
- I'd like to see a custom text box next to Font Name Display also. To add numbers or special symbols.

- Toggle the background/fonts to reverse (white font on black).

- Add line breaks in the Custom Text
